Belfast red Harry is a legend on this site right up there with edds and macca. Harry often changes his name to keep us all on our toes.
There are a few regular posters on here that tend to disagree with him but for me he is the best poster.

The possibility of complacency by being 10 points clear, if there was any, has gone.

We can do this- we are in a fantastic position to do this- and we will do this.

Exactly, spot on. I would much rather be 4 points in front than 4 behind and chasing. We haven’t suddenly become a bad team because we lost narrowly away to the reigning champions who were favourite for the title again. It’s still in our own hands and that’s the way you should want it. For all those muppets ringing talk sport saying Klopp should go. Who would they want in to replace him. Klopp has done wonders for the club progression is happening and turning into a feared team the way it should be. He gets the best out of players that weren’t fancied by many. So let’s get behind our team and hope they get past the finish line.

Good points there AggerDo have to agree with you. Last night was unfortunate and probably the 1st match since Gomez injury that we really missed him. Not only his pace and awareness but his long throw could've been handy in the latter stages last night. I'm not to concerned about last night this fixture was always the toughest of the campaign and we've only 3 fixtures against the so called top 6 to play 2 are at home.

Point to one reds fan who would not have bitten your arm off to be in this position going in to the back 9 at the start of the season.

Last season, although we beat City, I felt we hit them on the counter and rode our luck at times. This season we look very very evenly matched. The progression from last season is plain to see, even if we did lose.

I wouldn't honestly mind if we picked our most solid midfield 3 (Fabinho, Gini and Hendo/ Millie) would do for me and as theirfull backs push on allow Bobby, Sadio and Mo to take advantage.

What we don't want to do is leave space in behind us- if they have to resort to hurling crosses from deep into our box then all well and good

The pressure is on them, (you can tell it is as Pep "liverpool best team in Europe" has tried to divert it onto us) and as long as we perform solidly- I think we will turn them over

1-0 us with a breakaway goal.

Agger you said our most solid 3 and named 4 players mate. I think Klopp will go with Hendo-Fab-Wiji as Milner is just coming back from an injury. Shaq will be unlucky if he does miss out as he’s been fantastic for us in my opinion since his signing.

3.) 31 Dec 2018 11:21:14
That would be too defensive and would nullify our attack! Kieta has to start coz he is a threat going forward. So when Bobby drops into the middle we do not sacrifice an attacker. You cannot contain Manchester city no matter who you pick! You got to attack them and score.
Wijnaldum - Fabinho - Kieta.

4.) 31 Dec 2018 11:29:54
Harry I think if we are going on form though mate and want to be more attack minded then for me Shaq gets in ahead of Kieta. I really want Kieta to do well for us but he’s got to earn his place in the team like everyone else and for me he’s just not done it yet.

5.) 31 Dec 2018 11:51:37
I get your emotion. But this game is for kieta. At some point he need to show the world what he is and what better way than against City. You cannot earn a place without playing. We won’t lose this tie playing kieta. That is assured!

6.) 31 Dec 2018 11:55:41
I'd go with the exact same team that started against arsenal, hendo is best when coming off the bench to protect a lead he's one of the best at that, but starting him doesn't pose the same threat as shaqiri or keita and allows a team like city to push forward more. Really hope we get the 3 points no matter who starts.

7.) 31 Dec 2018 12:07:45
Harry I would not be disappointed to see Kieta start mate. Like I said I really want him to do well. I’d also be very happy to see Shaq start. The guy scores and creates goals. And goals win games.

8.) 31 Dec 2018 12:43:23
JK- 3 and definitely include Gini and Fabinho with one other of Hendo or Milner 👍
Having 3 out of those 4 I don’t think will nullify our attack as both full backs can still push on and join in the front 3

11.) 31 Dec 2018 23:33:07
I agree with jk kieta is still settling and it's about managing his integration into the team not just throwing him in the deep end hoping he has the form he had last year he will come good but needs more time to gel into the squad and find his place.

12.) 31 Dec 2018 23:44:42
Shaq will be on the bench
Best midfield play is wiji Fab and hendo for the match. They'll hunt at the smell of blood and punish any errors from the middle of the park which we know will lead to a quick transition to their goal post. On the defensive aspects, they'll help out the wide backs better as they are more used to the system than shaq.

13.) 02 Jan 2019 13:26:03
IMO, Shaq started vs Arsenal cos Klopp knew he prolly won't start vs City and I agree with that. We cannot allow for any passengers in midfield defensively and we were too open vs Arsenal in the first half and that CANNOT happen vs City. Also, Klopp will aleways go for his most experienced midfield combo in big games and since Milner is injured, he won't start. Hence, Klopp will prolly go with Hendo, Wiji and Fab.

Harry, going all attacking in such a game is playing into City's hands cos that is what they want as they are desperate for a win so I don't see Keita starting esp. if he goes for the midfield combo stated above. City's prob. is that they are vulnerable when they lose the ball in transition and Pep has admitted that he can't deal with Klopp in such games so why play into their hands with an attacking formation to begin with? That is just stupid.

We pummeled City 3 out of 4 times last season by NOT playing into their hands. We let them have the ball (hence, more possession which means nothing, really) and then countered with pace and power as soon as we on it. That is what Klopp should do here cos remember, we don't have to win the game if we can't. We at worst must NOT lose it.

Have to say I agree with JK being charged
Everyone knows the rules and they need to abide by them.

However. I now can't wait to see how many subs are booked for joining in goal celebrations by the corner flag.

5.) 03 Dec 2018 20:55:01
Keep hearing people (Danny ‘moron’ Mills included) that it was disrespectful to Everton for him to do that celebration. Surely disrespect is not celebrating at all as if the goal, game and opposition don’t matter. That celebration show that the goal and the opposition are massively important so shows more respect than not celebrating at all.

{Ed025's Note - not quite buying that KK but i dont have a problem with him celebrating mate..

6.) 03 Dec 2018 22:46:43
He should be charged because he’s broken the rules but it’s a silly rule, a bit like taking the shirt off after scoring. I like to see emotion in football rather than everyone act like robots.

7.) 03 Dec 2018 23:41:57
It's not a silly rule, Smeg Head. You don't want to be insighting a pitch invasion or a melee amongst fans, players and managers and coaches. The rule is what it is and we move on.

8.) 03 Dec 2018 23:53:11
Ah guys, I’m delighted with the result but klopp should have displayed a little more decorum. Imagine Mourinho doing that. We’d go freaking mental. I’m all about him sprinting down the touch line acting the glorius arse but onto the pitch is a no go. Loving klopp, warts and all, but Everton were robbed of a better result, so be magnanimous in victory. That said, If we win the league under the same circumstances, away you go jurgen.

Whilst Edwards was backing Fergie and buying players- it’s not as if we weren’t.

We bought some utter cr*p and had a revolving door in the bootroom trying to live up to 80s and 90s. To say we were “held back” as a tad far-fetched. Yes- we know about Moores antics when we were sold but we were buying players like Nicky Tanner, Mark Walters, David Speedie and Istvan Kozma where we had the reputation to stop attract the top names.
